Dear Universe,
While I understand that life is not fair and happiness is not promised to anyone, I would think that if things are arbitrary and indiscriminate that at least SOME good would show up on my radar. I’m beginning to think that you are purposely and deliberately trying to break me.
Now, I’m quite grateful that I have my health (such as it is) and that no ill has befallen any of my loved ones, so don’t think I’m being unappreciative or petty when I say the following…
Quit it!
If you want to hear me say you win, then fine. “You win!”
“You’re the big winner! You’re better than me! You’re great and I suck!”
Happy?
Come on already, turn your attention elsewhere and give me a break for once, will you? You’ve already broken my spirit and my will. I don’t know what else you want from me.
So, in conclusion: You win, I give up. “Uncle!” Kindly cease and desist from you persistent and pernicious behaviour towards me as I have nothing left with which to oppose.
Warm regards,
Me
P.S. If you happen to talk to Santa Claus, would you be kind enough to forward him the following list on my behalf?
Dear Santa,
I don’t know how good I’ve been this year, but all things considered, I’d wager I rank in the top half at least. In light of this, I hope you look favorably on the possibility of granting any and/or all of the below wishes:
1. Please keep my family and friends happy and healthy
2. Please send someone special my way. If I screw it up, so be it, but at least give me the opportunity.
3. Please find me a career, or short of that at least a job that I can hang on to for a while that pays enough for me to meet my expenses and maybe a little left over to give #2 above a fighting chance.
4. You can put this one in the ‘greedy S.O.B.’ department if you’d like, but they say if you don’t ask, you don’t get so… make it so I can feel what happy is again.
Seasons greetings,
Me

4 animadversions:
making lemonade over there?
would it help if I said I know how you feel? (only I don't have the supportive family that you do)
it sounds like you're feeling a tad stroppy, which I think is a good thing - better to feel angry about your situation than let it swallow you up and drown you out
and the love thing. . . you know she's not going to turn up knocking at your door, don't you? you gotta get out there. . .
so turn this off, put on your walking shoes and get out there!
I just may be a tad stroppy. I'll be more sure once I look up what 'stroppy' means. ;)
And walking shoes won't help much at 2:18 AM.
Oh pshaw--2am is the perfect time to go walking. Moonlight, starlight and beautiful silence!
k....and raccoons.....a few possums...possibly a couple of cat fights...
Would you believe me if I assured you the Universe heard? Cuz I'm sure that's true.
Right.
Walking shoes and a good adventure out and about!
*hugs*
You're great - know why? Your first wish was for other people.
Work out what you need to get by and try and make yourself busy happy...the kind of person you would want to get to know.
That advice was given to me...and for what it's worth, it worked for me.
"if you build it they will come." :)
